icon5.gif   [global] config still editable by admin of top group, posted by Damian Goeldi on Mon Sep 15 13:16:58 2025 
The ETH physics department is running an ELOG behind an Apache reverse proxy:

You can have authentication via the Webserver or the ELOG internal one, but this is on a global level for all logbooks. You cannot mix this between logbooks.
For that, you would have to run two instances of ELOG at two different ports.

icon4.gif   collapse does not seem to work as expected, posted by Harry Martin on Thu Jul 17 23:43:25 2025 
When I click on "collapse," even several times, I still see all the replies in each thread rather than just one entry representing each entire
thread.

I am running elogd 3.1.5 on devuan chimaera (bullseye) which I built from source.  I had the same results with 3.1.4 and 3.1.3.

I should add that this does not happen in every logbook.  I'm looking into what the distinction is that causes this in certain logbooks and
not in others.

Figured it out:  I had "Sort Attributes" set on the logbooks that were failing to collapse correctly.  At least, I think that is
the distinction.  

I think I can live with "Sort Attributes" disabled; I don't recall why I chose to set the "Sort Attributes" in the first

I also notice that collapse does not work properly if I have anything selected in the quick filter.

I am not sure if either "Sort Attributes" or the Quick Filter are the main issue, though they could be.  I have implemented a work-around
for now, but it really would be nice if this worked as expected.  Or perhaps someone can provide an example of a logbook with working "collapse"
functionality.  Thank you for this nifty program; everything else aside, this tool helps keep my work in order.

Not sure if this is a bug or not; if it is not, kindly reclassify the category.

Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:

Closed.  This "problem" was due to the same lack of document eyesight as https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69889.   Sorry for
all the noise.  New eyeglasses are forthcoming...

Well, it DOES work.... but only if you use the "Show Attributes Edit" directive.  "Show Attributes" is only for the single entry
pages, whereas "Show Attributes Edit" is for the "entry pages."

We have since discovered that the security team is scanning the box in question once a week when the service crashes, with nexpose.

So if you see something similar then you might want to explore that.

Probably some very strange URL form nexpose to trigger a potential buffer overflow. If I get the precise URL which crashes elogd, I can reproduce and
fix it.

Otherwise my usual advice: Run elogd behind an Apache proxy and do the authentication there. This way nexpose does not get to elogd, it will

Hi all,

I'm experiencing an issue on Kubuntu 24.04 where the WYSIWYG editor (in HTML mode) doesn't appear at all. This happens across multiple
browsers (tested with Firefox and Chromium). The editor area is simply blank, without any visible toolbar or editable content area.

Please excuse my double-posting. But my first entry was not displayed on the forum and I haven't received feedback yet. I think this is because I
responded to an entry that was still in draft mode, whereas my entry was a "normal" entry. My initial entry has the Message ID: 69870 and was
